## About the role

A trillion-dollar industry runs on knowledge nobody wrote down — what the data means, what the operation actually needs, what users are motivated by, and where the leverage hides. This role synthesizes those disconnected streams into one thing: a clear read on the most important problem to solve next. Then you build the thing that solves it.

## What they're looking for

- You've shipped internal tools or automations end-to-end — not just designed them
- You've also run real operations: customer-facing, process-heavy, or both. You know what it feels like when a system breaks at 7 AM
- You measure yourself in business outcomes: "conversion went up 15%," not "the feature shipped."
- You can walk into a room of non-technical operators, explain why a number moved, and have them trust you
- You'd rather own a messy problem end-to-end than execute a clean task someone handed you
- You've been exceptional at something before, and you're looking for the place that finally matches your ceiling
